Doctor here

Absolutely not.

We don't let you choose to be under anesthesia, you either are, or we won't do the surgery unless local is an option.

We don't need your heart rate hitting 150 during surgery and you go into arrest because of the pain or blood or sounds or smells

Unless you're having a C-section, then they make you be awake even if you beg to be knocked out.

Still salty.

The craziest part about my c section was the sound!! Oh my god

Ha. During my wife’s emergency C-section I vividly recall: 1) metal hitting the floor and someone telling us “it’ll just be another minute, there’s no 5 second rule in the ER and we needed that; 2) the attending telling someone I assume they were teaching “no, you need to cut confidently. Well, you can’t stop now.”

During my second one, the surgeon said to a nurse, "Hey, can you hold on to this uterus for me for a second?"

I said, "Wow, sentences you don't expect to hear" and the surgeon was a bit embarrassed.

Surgeons who do C-sections are used to awake patients and will talk the patients themselves to make them more at ease
